Leaked screen shots reveal keyboard settings for enabling Nuance as well as selecting a keyboard shortcut to activate the feature. The partnership between Apple and Nuance (the guys behind the Dragon Dictation speech-to-text app) has long been rumored, but this seems to confirm it. But, the added layer of secrecy only adds more intrigue to the story! These types of betas are usually used for field-testing by Apple employees and certain developers who must have earned Jobs’ trust in some way. This is because it isn’t something available in the standard beta for iOS 5 – it only appears in Apple’s internal iOS 5 build. First it was further social network integration, and now it’s the inclusion of Nuance’s speech recognition software.Īdmittedly, this information was a bit more difficult to come by than the normal leak. No matter how much Apple tries to hide or disguise something, if a developer digs deep enough, he or she will always uncover a hidden feature or two. This is one of the reasons I love beta builds.
